I mean socially, do you want to go to a party and be the only person who doesn't know anyone? If you had to pick, I'd imagine you'd either want to catch up with a couple people you do know OR meet new people. The trouble gets when the crowd is a mix of old and new and people feel alienated.
I don't understand how this discovery would prevent that though. You could still get invited to a party with over 25 people where you are the only person who doesn't know anyone.
